Abstract
In unimanual kinesthetic judgements, larger ipsilateral extents felt equal to smaller contralateral ones. This was more likely to be due to a limb's general "intentional" tendencies towards its own ipsilateral hemispace than to e.g. differential attentional tendencies or the effects of muscular tension when crossing the midline. However hand asymmetries in this respect cannot account for the "pseudoneglect" phenomenon of setting the subjective midpoint of a felt rod slightly too far to the left. This phenomenon may instead be due to an asymmetric deployment of attentional and processing resources.Mesh:
